We've had crocus blooming for two days and sandhill cranes flying since then, too. Tiny little clovers are popping up and a few blades of grass are getting green. Willows are getting really yellow and their branches are growing like weeds, hanging like strings. Beautiful in the wind. Squirrels have been going humpity-hump-hump/fighty-fight-fight for territory and lust all day long. How do people live without four seasons?

There ain't no denying that it is breaking spring. So glad I got the family out for a ski last Sunday! Sno, thanks for the heads up as it seems to be time to keep count of robins until spring is official. Even after a mild winter I look forward to the awakening.
